I regret to inform you that I 'retired' in December 2010 - after 50 years in the business - and no tours will operate in 2011.

We operated a working museum - a fleet of superbly reliable coaches dating from 1950 to 1989 . These were used to operate leisurely tours to the more remote areas of Scotland and also to England, Wales, Isle of Man, Ireland, France (Normandy, Brittany, Provence, Alps, Corsica), Switzerland, Italy, Iceland, The Faroes, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and northern Spain.

I would like to thank all the many thousands of people from all parts of the world who have travelled with Classique Tours - some of whom have travelled with us for as many as 30 years. We hope you have many happy memories ... we know that so many of you have made good friends, near and far, on your “Classique” tours. It has been a great pleasure to show you some of our favourite places. Thank you for making it all possible!

I am very grateful for all those businesses and individuals who provided assistance with our tours. The ferries operated by MacBraynes, P & O, Northlink, Jura, Orkney & Shetland, etc. All the hotels, refreshment stops, places of interest, etc.... So many people to thank!

My future 'world travels' will include - as well as everything else! - as many of the world's steam railways as possible, and maybe provide inspiration for new "Classique" holidays....

Best wishes!
David N. Dean on behalf of
Edward Lewis (Director of Finance since 1981) and
Hagar Hagarsson (Director of Overseas Operations)
